2. Create a new promotion via the green button.

 

3. You will be presented with the products available. Choose ‘Knowledge Quiz’ to create a promotion which tests your users' knowledge and educates them about your brand.

4. As a next step, set up the following options:

• Organizing brand. As a first step, you should select or create an organizing brand for your promotion. This organizing brand is independent of any social network and works as a folder within your Easypromos account, in order to help organize the promotions that you create.

Note: Compare here the features and functionalities included in each template.

5. After clicking on "Continue" button, you'll get access to the promotion management page, where you have all the options for setting up the promotion. We outline the most important sections below:

1. Header. This displays the title of the promotion, the platform version (Premium or White Label), and other relevant information such as the promotion ID number of the promotion. The promotion status indicates if the quiz is a Draft, Active or Expired, as well as if it’s about to start. Once the promotion period has ended, this field will be marked in red saying: Status: Expired. You can choose what to show on an expired promotion page.
2. Link to the promotion. Use this URL whenever you share the promotion. Learn more about sharing here. You'll also see the copy link button, which instantly copies the URL to make sharing easier.
3. Activate Promotion. When the promotion is ready to launch, click this button to activate it. You'll be taken to the activation page, where you can review billing information and make payments.
4. Test mode. This tool will allow you to carry out a real test of the promotion before activating it, in order to participate in it as users will when it is activated and thus be able to check that the promotion works as expected before launching it. More information.
5. Side menu. All your promotion settings in one place.
6. View tutorial. This tutorial guides you step by step through the creation and management of your promotion.
7. Promotion dates controls the timezone and duration of the promotion.

   Localization enables you to limit participation to one or several countries. Learn more about country restriction.
8. Next steps: Practical recommendations that will guide you in the creation and management of your campaign.

Tip: the promotion ID number (#) is a unique identifier for each promotion. Quote this number if you need to contact the Easypromos support team with any issues. This will make it easier for us to review your settings and help you out.

 

Step 2. Create the questions and answers

The platform comes with many pre-configured features, specific to the version that you have chosen (Premium or White Label). First set up the quiz with the questions that you want to ask, and then work through the advanced options to customize the platform for your needs.

1. Enter the promotion 'Editor'.

2. Access the section Pages > Quiz, which is the place where you will create your questions and answers. As you can see, you will have 6 questions already created, so you can see the different types of questions you can configure.

a) "Single answer" question: The participant will only be able to select one of the possible answers:

b) Multiple answer question: The participant may select more than one answer.

c) "Sortable answer" question: the participant must put the answers in order (using all the options or a set number of them).

d) "Drop-down list" question: When the user places their cursor within the field, a list of possible answers is displayed.

e) "Autocomplete list" question: When the user places their cursor within the field and starts to type, the page displays possible answers.

f) Radio button list: All the answer options are simultaneously displayed in a list format. The participant can select the answer they want.

In this way, the Knowledge quiz comes with these 6 sample questions already created, which are the types of questions that we recommend for a Knowledge quiz, since your intention is to evaluate the knowledge of the participants and be able to rate the answers correctly and without incident

Tip! In a Knowledge Quiz where users have to guess the correct answer, we recommend choosing "Single Answer". This creates a multiple-choice question.

 

Step 3. Give a score to each question and create the final messages

Once you have created the Knowledge Quiz, it's time to score the questions. You must indicate the correct answer to each question and assign a number of points, so that the application can calculate participants' scores. Learn how to score questions with this tutorial.

Example: For the elaboration of this tutorial a fictional Knowledge quiz has been used that asks a series of questions related to Christmas, with the aim of evaluating the knowledge that users have about Christmas holidays.

 

Practical example

The following question "Which country does the tradition of the Christmas tree come from?" presents three possible answers:

a) Finland

b) Germany

c) England 

You should punctuate the correct answer to the question with "1" point:

 

Customize feedback for Knowledge Quiz results

You can create a variety of final messages for the same quiz. This lets you give customized feedback to individual users, based on their quiz scores. Learn how to customize these messages.

 

Customize viral content for quiz results

You can also customize viral content based on users' quiz scores. Then they can share the quiz results and feedback with their friends. Learn how to set up viral content here.

 

Step 4. Enable the Knowledge Quiz Summary page

The Knowledge Quiz Summary page shows users a summary of their answers to each question. The page is displayed after answering the last question of the questionnaire, and just before accessing the registration form. You can choose to allow users to repeat the quiz, if their score is not high enough to access the registration form.

Note: The Summary Page is not available for quizzes with the Login system enabled.

Learn how to enable and customize the Knowledge Quiz Summary Page.

 

Step 5. Participant registration system

In order to participate in the Knowledge Quiz, users must register by filling in the registration form with the requested data.

To do this, go to the Editor > Pages > Registration Form, to customize the fields that you want to ask users to be able to participate:

 

Check the tutorial where we explain how to configure the promotion registration form.

 

Additionally, you can enable the Login system, which has the following features:

1. It allows to require the users to register first before participating in the promotion. It's possible to identify with a Facebook profile, a Google account or an email address. If it's the first time the user registers, they will have to complete the registration form and accept the terms & conditions and privacy policy of the promotion.
2. It gives the option of enabling multi-participation, by deciding the number of participations you want to grant to each user, in the entire promotion, per day, or per hour.

Check in this tutorial how to enable Login and how to configure multi-participation.

 

When is it recommended to enable the Login system?

• When we want to place the identification and registration form BEFORE the quiz questions.
• When we want to limit the draw to users who have validated the email.
• When we want to limit participation in the draw to users that are registered in the client's systems. Example: Limit the campaign to users registered in your website or users of your mobile app. This option requires using the Autologin system.

Note: In order to be able to activate the Login system, it’s necessary to have an account with an active Premium or White Label plan.

 

3. Customize the design and finish the settings

Once you have configured the Timed Quiz, the next step is to finish the configuration of the other options of the promotion, such as customizing the design template with your own colors and texts, introducing the legal bases, the viral content settings, etc. Check the tutorial to finish the configuration and customization of your promotion.
